Summary

A premature infant developed pneumoperitoneum and Meckel's diverticulum perforation. Perinatal asphyxia and indomethacin treatment were likely contributing factors in this rare neonatal complication.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Surgical Neonatology
  • Pediatric Gastroenterology

Background:

  • A 32-week-old premature infant required mechanical ventilation from birth.
  • The neonate received indomethacin for patent ductus arteriosus on day two of life.

Observation:

  • Pneumoperitoneum was diagnosed on day seven of life.
  • Emergency surgery revealed a perforated Meckel's diverticulum.

Findings:

  • The patient presented with a rare complication of Meckel's diverticulum perforation.
  • The perforation occurred in the context of prematurity, mechanical ventilation, and indomethacin treatment.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a potential association between indomethacin, perinatal asphyxia, and gastrointestinal complications in neonates.
  • Early surgical intervention is critical for managing neonatal gastrointestinal emergencies like perforated Meckel's diverticulum.
